Unfortunately for me I have just 'discovered' Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins. I have no idea what to say except to recall a review I read which said (with snide reference to John's private parts) "such a big fuss over such a small thing".

The back cover has a quote from Genesis: "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed". Well, perhaps they should not have been ashamed of the nudity, but they sure should have been ashamed about foisting such a boring 30 minutes or so on an unsuspecting public. ...]]>

Woah. my brain flipped over to another thread for a split second, and I began wondering if we were talking about trcanberra's bother's friend and his wife's sister.

All together nowhttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/discovered-any-new-music-lately/page-4/#p95177Been listening to a collection of 1960's Girl Group songs that are relatively unknown and obscure, as is nearly always the case with any compilation album its a very mixed bag careering from the very good to the why on earth was this ever recorded?.

Included amongst the tracks is a response to the classic 60's song called Runaround Sue by Dion; it's called I'm No Runaround and was recorded by Ginger Davis and The Snaps. Never knew there was a response so thats a pretty cool discovery.

My current 'new' thing is that I have just ordered the complete Dylan box. I think this is the last significant phase of the 'replacing LPs' saga some of you will know about. I had around a dozen or so of his LPs so I am calling this new as there will be around 30 CDs in the box I have never heard.

I'm not sure how to fit this in with catching up with my Beatles mountain. Maybe Beatles on week days and Dylan on week-ends - I should manage it all in around 10 months ...]]>

All together nowhttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/discovered-any-new-music-lately/page-3/#p93813I've rediscovering music through SiriusXM radio 60's on 6, for I have a rental car while my car is in the shop at the moment. There are so many songs I remember listening to when I was younger on oldies stations. The majority of the stations now play some 60s, more 70s, 80s, and even 90s.

I encourage anyone who is curious to do your own investigation into classical; you might be surprised how many pieces you already know yet didn't think were classical.

When it comes to classical music starting riots, this piece by Berlioz accomplished the same...

fabfouremily, regarding classical music: there are some works that are famous partly because they are so distinctive and broke new ground at the time.

If you've never heard "Bolero" by Maurice Ravel, it's worth at least one listen. It was a revolutionary piece when it premiered in 1928, and although enthusiastically received, it apparently caused a near riot.

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a listen.

I have all of Paul's classical stuff and will listen to it when I get to the relevant year. I bought Liverpool Oratorio during my classical phase and liked it.

I hope you'll post your thoughts at the classical thread in the Paul section.

All together nowhttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/discovered-any-new-music-lately/page-3/#p93753I found this band called the American Authors, because their song Best Day of My Life (which is actually pretty well known) is the theme song for the World Series of Poker (Yes, I watch the World Series of Poker, don't judge) They only have one EP out, but the rest of the EP is pretty good, my favorite is called Luck. I also like Imagine Dragons, those are really the only two current acts I like. I only like bands, the solo artists just don't do it for me.

I just read on Wikipedia that during the mayhem of the premiere, one woman shouted that "Ravel is mad!", and when Ravel was told of this, he said: "That woman is the only person who understands my piece!"

^ Do you think maybe what put you off was the forcing yourself to listen to it all, rather than what you like the most. Obviously, not all classical music, and composers, are the same. That's why I want to buy some sort of guide - so I can identify what I like the most and listen to the composers that were around in that period. Hopefully then it won't become some sort of monstrous task that I'll get bored of after a while. So far, it's the late Romantic period that I think I like the ...]]>
